Verse 1:
Em Gmaj7/D [r.h. keyboard voicing: D-F#-G-B]
I'm an ivory tower boy
Never qu[C]ite put down the [G/B]toys
Am7 D7 G Gsus2/F# [r.h: D-G-A]
I always made the best of them all
I see o[Em]nly sunny[Gmaj7/D] skies
With the w[C]ool over my e[G]yes
I never [Am7]seem to find the c[D7]rack [/C]or the f[B7]ault
Chorus:
I s[C]ee it all through r[D]ose-coloured gl[G]asses[A]
And I only s[D]ee what matters to [G]me[G7/B]
I s[C]ee you all through r[D]ose-coloured glas[B7]ses, y[E7]eah
The world that I c[Am7]hose[D7]
Is coloured [1: [C/G]rose [G] ]
[2: [C/G]rose [G] [/F#] (to solo)]
[3: (to coda)]
Verse 2:
It's a funny sort of haze
All full of dreams of yesterdays
And the dreams are so real you could cry
And you know the grass is green
On the side you've never seen
And the thought is what helps you get by
[repeat chorus]
Guitar solo [2X]:
[Gm/Bb] [F/A] [Fm/Ab] [C/G]

[Gm/Bb] [F/A] [Fm/Ab] [C][CG]
[/] [/] [/] [/] [/] [/] [/] [/] [/] [/] [/] [/] [/][/][/][/]
Verse 3:
As I grow a little more
And wonder what this all is for
And the brass ring is slipping away
I will keep the glasses near
Maybe shed a quiet tear
Maybe smile inside as I say
[repeat chorus]
[repeat guitar solo; end cold on G]
